Tomra Systems ASA is a Norwegian technology company specializing in sensor‑based sorting and collection solutions for resource recovery. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Asker, Norway, the company develops reverse vending systems for beverage container return and advanced sorting equipment used by recycling facilities, material recovery facilities, and industrial processors worldwide.
For the chemical and plastics value chain, Tomra provides sorting technologies and collection services that generate high‑purity post‑consumer material streams (such as PET, PP, and PS) suitable for mechanical and chemical recycling. Its systems help improve feedstock quality, yield, and traceability, supporting the production of recycled polymers for packaging and other applications that require stringent specifications. Tomra works with municipalities, waste management companies, recyclers, and polymer producers to enable closed‑loop recycling and increase the share of circular materials in downstream manufacturing.
